Mid-WWII U.S. Swivel Loop McCord M1 Helmet Shell (March 1944)
This original WWII U.S. McCord manufactured front seam swivel loop M1 helmet shell is in well-used condition, with surface rust throughout. The heat stamp of 825B dates its production to March 1944. It retains its original olive drab factory finish, cork texture, and OD#3 (khaki) chinstrap. The chinstrap is unfortunately torn just behind the flat steel buckle. The helmet's swivel loops are strong and intact. There are a couple stress cracks at the rear. This helmet would pair very nicely with a high pressure helmet liner with green-painted steel A-washers.
